‘O fare you well, my father dear,

Also my sister Betty;

O fare you well, my mother dear,

I leave you all compleatly.’


a.

34. conveyd; cf. 102.

174. Suspicious. I’ll surely grant thee in b, which preserves the rhyme, and is otherwise preferable.

203. b avoids Gillecrankie here by reading to the Highland hills, and lacks 22.
